Fauda Season 5: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far

By Aman Shukla Published on July 23, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated July 23, 2025, 17:45 IST If you're a Fauda fan, you're probably counting down the days until Season 5 drops. This Israeli series has hooked millions with its raw, heart-pounding take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, blending gritty action with characters you can't help but root for (or hate). After four intense seasons, the show's creators are gearing up for another round, and there's plenty to talk about. From when it might hit screens to who's coming back and what the story could hold, here's the lowdown on everything we know about Fauda Season 5. Fauda Season 5 Potential Release Date No official release date has been locked in yet, but the rumor mill is churning. Word is, Fauda Season 5 will likely premiere on Yes TV in Israel around early 2026—think January to March. Netflix, which brings the show to global audiences, usually follows a few months later, so we might see it streaming worldwide by mid-2026, maybe even late spring or summer. Why the wait? Production's set to kick off in late April 2025, and the team had to overhaul the entire storyline after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks shook things up. Rewriting took a year, so they're taking their time to get it right. Makes sense, given how Fauda always weaves real-world weight into its stories. Fauda Season 5 Expected Cast The heart of Fauda is its stellar cast, and Season 5 is bringing back some familiar faces while tossing in a big-name newcomer. Here's what we've got: Lior Raz as Doron Kavillio : The man himself, Lior Raz, is back as the rough-around-the-edges commander of the Mista'arvim unit. Doron's impulsive, loyal, and always in the thick of it—can't imagine Fauda without him. Idan Amedi's Comeback : Fans were worried about Idan Amedi, who plays Sagi Tzur, after he was badly injured in an explosion while serving in the IDF. Good news: he's recovering and will appear in a guest role. The writers tweaked Sagi's arc to fit his situation, which shows how much the team cares about keeping things real. Mélanie Laurent Joins the Mix : Here's a curveball—French actress Mélanie Laurent, who you might know from Inglourious Basterds , is jumping on board for seven of the nine episodes. No word yet on who she's playing, but her star power's bound to shake things up. Others We Hope to See: Nothing's confirmed, but we're crossing our fingers for regulars like Itzik Cohen and Meirav Shirom to return. Their characters bring so much to the table, it'd be tough to picture the show without them. Sadly, the Fauda team also suffered a loss—crew member Matan Meir was killed in Gaza. His death hit the cast and crew hard, and it's likely to shape the season's emotional tone. Fauda Season 5 Potential Plot Fauda never shies away from tough topics, and Season 5 sounds like it's diving in deep. Here's what we've pieced together: A Post-October 7 World: The season picks up two years after the October 7 attacks, and it's not just background noise. Lior Raz has said the show will explore how Israel—and its people—are grappling with the trauma. Expect a story that's heavy but thoughtful, showing the human side of a nation in recovery. A Private Mission: This time, the Fauda crew's going rogue—sort of. The season involves a private mission, with some scenes shot in Israel and others abroad (no specifics on where yet). Could this mean Doron's chasing a personal vendetta? Or maybe the team's working outside official channels? We're intrigued. Keeping It Real: Fauda has always stood out for showing both Israeli and Palestinian perspectives, and Season 5 won't pull punches. It'll likely dig into the messy, moral gray zones of the conflict, with characters on both sides who feel like real people, not stereotypes. The season will have nine episodes, directed by Omri Givon (who worked on Hostages ) and written by Omri Shenhar (from Tehran ). That's a powerhouse team, so the story's in good hands.
